Sentences with phrase «by angular momentum»
I'm assuming predicting future angular momentum is relatively easy for 200 years into the future, but that predicting solar cycle modulation is more complicated, probably because the solar cycle is caused by a different mechanism, but is very strongly influenced by angular momentum.

In the 478th Brookhaven Lecture DarÃo Arena explains the fundamentals of magnetic materials â $» including a concept called angular momentum, which can be illustrated by a balancing gyroscope â $» as well as researchers» tools and techniques for investigating these materials at BNL's National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS).
Astronomer Martin Harwit, former director of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D. C., points out that if this were true, the vast energy, angular momentum, and magnetic fields generated by each collapse would be clearly visible — but they are not.
Now, technically the earlier event, GW150914, also observed a Kerr black hole, as the final black hole after coalescence had spin (by conservation of angular momentum, since it was created from a pair of mutually - orbiting black holes).
In his Perspective, Wilson discusses results presented in the same issue by Marcus et al. in which techniques of radio astronomy were used to measure changes in Earth's angular momentum.
When a star leaves the main sequence, its future evolution is precisely determined by its mass, rate of rotation (or angular momentum), and chemical composition and whether it is a member of a close binary system.
At the same time, the spiral shocks launched by the planets provide a mechanism for angular momentum transport, allowing the zero viscosity disk to accrete.
Such braking is an important process because it assures a source of matter of relatively low angular momentum (by the standards of the interstellar medium) for the formation of stars and planetary systems.

In some cases, the planet transfers an amount of angular momentum to the star that is comparable to the amount being removed by the wind, which can have a significant impact on the evolution of the star.

The new simulations performed by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) researchers show that a single impact by a Mars - sized object in the late stages of Earth's formation could account for an iron - depleted Moon and the masses and angular momentum of the Earth - Moon system.
When you exceed the torque able to be produced by the engine by releasing the clutch too fast the engine will slow related to the difference in torque applied versus produced and the angular momentum of the system.
BTW I've never understood why the the angular momentum of the solar system is possessed mainly by the orbiting planets while its mass is concentrated in the sun.
Transport of momentum (linear and angular) within the atmosphere and ocean would be balanced by transfer via pressure gradient and coriolis and viscous forces and by gains or losses at interfaces with each other and the solid Earth.
They are not really a cyclone because they are caused by the rotation of the earth, not conservation of angular momentum.
The diurnal and semi-diurnal frequencies are buried in the theoretical LOD signal and the easiest way to get the latter frequency to emerge is to raise the LOD or angular momentum value by a power.
